First, he enters the vault, which houses hundreds of 70mm prints, a bizarre sight. Then he meets with the technicians in the print assembly room, followed by a tour of the projection booth, which serves as the final inspection before the directors give their approval.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-240619\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"How IMAX 70MM Film is Projected!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7S_geBV5bLQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"How IMAX 70MM Film is Projected!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7S_geBV5bLQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>The film itself passes through the projector in a format known as 15 perforation. Each frame is ten times the size of a conventional 35mm frame, and there is no capacity for a soundtrack; everything is handled digitally. Adam points out that because the audio strip is not printed on the film, the sound must originate from a separate digital source running alongside it, and it is this extra real estate that gives the IMAX screens their legendary sharpness, allowing them to reach heights of up to 90 feet.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0FD3CGH9P\" data-aawp-product-id=\"229085\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"TCL C1 Smart Projector 4K Support Google TV &amp; Netflix Officially Licensed WIFI and Bluetooth Auto Focus Keystone Native 1080p Dolby Audio 285\u00b0 Portable Mini Projector for Home Theater\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/41f9JnbuYdL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"TCL C1 Smart Projector 4K Support, Google TV &amp; Netflix Officially Licensed, WIFI and Bluetooth, Auto...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            TCL C1 Smart Projector 4K Support, Google TV &amp; Netflix Officially Licensed, WIFI and Bluetooth, Auto&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>\u3010Smart Google TV Projector\u3011 &#8211; Google and TCL collaborate on this projector system.

Adam watches as they disassemble and reassemble reels received from the printing lab. Irving, one of the experienced technicians, has been on the job for thirty-three years and is a bit of a dinosaur. He\u2019s like a huge puzzle master, lining up scenes from all over the place with printed lists to determine where each frame should fit.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"What Makes IMAX So Expensive? | WSJ Tech Behind\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6DAFkaGUiT4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"What Makes IMAX So Expensive? | WSJ Tech Behind\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6DAFkaGUiT4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>The splicing process is done in two stages: first, they make a temporary cut that allows you to easily pull the film apart for inspection, and then they produce a more permanent weld that will withstand the entire run. Adam looks around at the gigantic rewind benches that fill the room and is shocked that even a short segment can weigh dozens of pounds. It all boils down to the thick stock and the amount of visual information packed into each frame.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"See How OPPENHEIMER 70MM IMAX Film is Projected\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0QUxJ57N9I0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"See How OPPENHEIMER 70MM IMAX Film is Projected\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0QUxJ57N9I0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><br \/>Loading a finished reel into the projector necessitates a clever pulley system to lift the hefty weight from the ground floor to the booth on the level above. First, the crew threads over a hundred feet of leader film, which provides approximately 20 seconds of run time at the projector\u2019s constant 337 feet per minute speed. That sliver of film guides the true print into place without interfering with the opening frames of the film. To make matters even more complicated for 3D showings, the entire process is practically doubled: you have two identical projectors running left-eye and right-eye prints simultaneously, each fed through its own pulley channel.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/15202434\/adam-savage-imax-headquarters-70mm-film-2.jpg\" alt=\"Adam Savage IMAX Headquarters 70mm Film\" width=\"1280\" height=\"720\"\/><br \/>Inside the booth, three projector setups sit on a sliding rail system. One manages film, while the other two oversee digital backups, which essentially brighten things up and keep the stereo sound in check. The rail system allows the technicians to quickly slide the units in and out when switching formats. Adam follows the thread path as the film loops from the supply reel, through the projector gate\u2019s super precise sprocket holes, across the lamp house, and back down to the take-up reel along the same route, with each movement perfectly in sync with the separate digital audio track from the hard drive or optical disc.<br \/><span>[Source]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
